“There can be no loss like the loss of a mother” – Atiku tells Akeredolu on mum’s death

The presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has commiserated with Governor Rotimi Akeredolu over the death of his mother, Lady Evangelist Grace B. Akeredolu.

Akeredolu said in a Thursday statement that his mother died aged 90.

“My siblings and I announce, with deepest regret and total submission to the will of the Almighty, the passing into glory of our adorable, dutiful and ever dotting mother, Lady Evangelist Grace Bosede Akeredolu, this morning. She died peacefully in her sleep.

“Though saddened and by the departure of Maami, the one Abiyamo we knew, we are consoled with the knowledge that, even as she transits to eternity, she will be guided by the strong hands of the angels of the light in which she dwelt during her eventful and fruitful sojourn on the terrestrial plane,” Akeredolu wrote in a Facebook post.

Reacting in a Facebook post on Friday, Atiku said there could be no loss greater than the loss of a mother.

He commiserated with the bereaved and prayed for eternal rest for the departed.

He wrote, “There can be no loss like the loss of a mother. On behalf of my family, I express my deepest condolences to Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, his family and the people and government of Ondo State over the passing of the governor’s beloved mother, Mrs Grace Akeredolu. May her soul find eternal rest.”
